Person First, Then Purpose

A woman must determine who she is before she can know what she’s supposed to do, how and why.

What a woman believes about herself ultimately shapes what she believes about the world and what’s possible. This is the mirrored effect humans experience where what is going on inside is projected or mirrored onto the outer world.

As we change our minds, we will change the world.

As we change our beliefs as to what is or isn’t possible, the world changes as a result of it. As we change our understanding as to who we are, we change our identity, capability, behavior and the environment we live in.

As we get to understand the person and what matters most to them, a purpose can then emerge from that.

Chasing some purpose without knowing the person doing the chasing might not be the best approach to creating more a meaningful life and work.
